MOORE, Okla. -- Days after a former Oklahoma state senator pleaded guilty to federal child sex trafficking, police released body cam footage of the call that led the elected official to be charged with sex crimes by the state.

Shortey answered the door in a white t-shirt with the words Ephesians 5:22, a bible verse, written on it, as well as "now go make me a sandwich" written below an image of a sandwich. The bible verse is in reference to women submitting to their husband's will, as they do to the Lord.

"Can you show me that he’s only 17?" Shortey asks one of the officers.

"I can’t," one officer replies, almost incredulously. "But I can convince you that he is. I can put you in handcuffs and throw you in the back of car."

Officers - who at the time did not know Shortey was a seated state senator - asked him why he was inside the hotel room with a teen boy that smelled of marijuana. Video also shows the beds were unmade.

"So what was going on over here tonight, man?"

"We were just hanging out, talking about life and stuff," Shortey replied. "We’ve been talking for a few months about. Tomorrow he told me he was going to get his GED. Couldn’t graduate high school and was trying to get his life on track."

Those state charges were later dropped after federal prosecutors charged Shortey with child sex trafficking and child pornography in September. Shortey pleaded guilty to child sex trafficking last week and a sentencing hearing is pending. He faces between ten years to life in prison.

"What sense does it make, me lying to you?" said an officer in the body cam footage. "But listen, whatever you're doing, it's a bad [expletive] idea. Does that make sense to you? Getting high, with a young kid, is a bad idea. No matter if they're 17 or 20. It's a bad idea. You understand what I'm saying?"
